- Open the meter box near the curbLift the lid carefully (watch for ants and frogs, it is Florida).
- Watch the small leak indicatorA small triangle, star or dial that spins even with tiny flows. Write down the reading.
- Wait 15 minutes and check againIf the indicator moved or the reading changed, water is leaking somewhere on your property.
Why Naples Homes Get Hidden Leaks
Almost every Naples house and low-rise condo sits on a concrete slab, with the water lines running underneath. Here is what wears those pipes out.
Sandy soil and a high water table
Southwest Florida sand shifts more than dense soil. As the ground moves, pipes under the slab rub, bend and crack.
Copper that is reaching its age
Large parts of East Naples, Golden Gate City and Naples Park were built from the 1960s to the 1990s. Copper that old develops pinhole leaks from the inside.
Mineral-rich water
Hard water and well water in Golden Gate Estates leave scale and speed up corrosion on pipes and fittings.
Hot water lines in concrete
Hot lines expand and contract every day. Where they touch concrete or rebar, they wear thin. That is why a warm floor spot is the classic Naples sign.
Hurricane after effects
After Hurricane Ian in 2022 and Milton in 2024, flooded and saturated ground put extra stress on buried lines. Some leaks show up months later.
Homes that sit empty
Seasonal homes can leak for weeks with nobody there. Owners often find out from a huge water bill or a neighbor's call.

A slab leak never fixes itself. It wastes water, softens the soil under your foundation and soaks into floors and drywall. Finding it early is the cheapest option you have.

Naples Leak Detection FAQs
How do I know if I have a slab leak in Naples?
The most common Naples signs are a warm or hot spot on a tile floor, a water bill that jumps with no change in use, the sound of running water with every fixture off, a water meter that keeps moving, damp carpet or lifting tile, and a musty smell near baseboards.
Will you have to break my floor to find the leak?
No. Detection is non-invasive. Pros use pressure isolation, thermal imaging, electronic acoustic listening and, when needed, tracer gas to pinpoint the leak to within inches. Concrete is only opened at repair time, and only at the marked spot.
How long does leak detection take?
Most homes take about 1 to 3 hours. Larger homes, multiple leaks or quiet leaks on plastic lines can take longer.
How much does leak detection cost in Naples?
Basic leak checks in the Naples area start around $100. Full slab leak location usually costs more, depending on home size, floor type, number of water lines and how quiet the leak is. Ask for the price on the call before any visit is booked.
Does homeowners insurance pay for leak detection in Florida?
It depends on your policy. Many Florida policies cover sudden and accidental leaks and often the cost to access the pipe, but not the pipe itself or gradual seepage. A written leak location report with photos helps when you file. Check with your insurer or agent.
My condo has water coming from the unit above. Can you find the source?
Yes. Leak detection pros can trace water between units and give a written report you can share with your HOA, property manager and insurer. Under Florida Statute 718, who pays depends on where the leak is and your condo documents, so knowing the exact source matters.
I live up north part of the year. Can someone check my Naples home?
Yes. Many Naples homes sit empty for months, so a leak check before you leave or when you return is common. Pros can coordinate access with your property manager or neighbor and send photos of what they find.
